            statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
            necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances
            under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect

            establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as

                  a.    Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or
                        caused such disclosure controls and procedures to be
                        designed under our supervision, to ensure that material
                        information relating to the Registrant, including its
                        consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others
                        within those entities, particularly during the period in

                  b.    (Paragraph omitted in accordance with SEC transition

                  c.    Evaluated the effectiveness of the Registrant's
                        disclosure controls and procedures and presented in this

                        disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the
                        period covered by this annual report based on such
                        evaluation; and

                  d.    Disclosed in this report any change in the Registrant's
                        internal control over financial reporting that occurred
                        during the Registrant's most recent fiscal quarter (the
                        Registrant's fourth fiscal quarter in the case of an
                        annual report) that has materially affected, or is
                        reasonably likely to materially affect, the Registrant's
                        internal control over financial reporting; and

      5.    The Registrant's other certifying officers and I have disclosed,
            based on our most recent evaluation of internal control over
            financial reporting, to the Registrant's auditors and the audit
            committee of the Registrant's Board of Directors (or persons
            performing the equivalent functions):

                  a.    All significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in
                        the design or operation of internals control over
                        financial reporting which are reasonably likely to
                        adversely affect the Registrant's ability to record,
                        process, summarize and report financial information; and

                  b.    Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves
                        management or other employees who have a significant
                        role in the Registrant's internal control over financial
                        reporting.
